Selective download is why I will still use FitGirl Repacks even though SteaMidra is so convenient. That NVME storage space is very precious.
I don't think even Dodi Repacks provides selective downloads.
Steamless cracked Baldur's Gate 3 crashing at 70% loading when launching through Steam.
As you can see in the video, the game launches fine directly thought .exe, but the same .exe launched through Steam crashes at 70%. The same issue happened before (I've played for 17hrs) but launching Steam as administrator fixed it. Now it's happening again even though steam is already running with administrative privileges. I've installed only a few popular mods which I show at the end of the video. Steam Cloud saves are already disabled, and disabling Steam in-game interface didn't resolve the issue.
The game was cracked with SteaMidra's Steamless only crack.
Man, Playnite is a godsent for pirates who want a place for showcase their cracked games. It has add-ons for local achievements and game activity, things pirates don't get to have.
I started pirating in 2024, and after beating a cracked game that I loved, like Elden Ring, Sekiro, or Cairn, I always felt like having something that showcase them, even just for me. At first, I just wanted to see my in-game time, but I've been playing around with Playnite Launcher for a couple of week now, and it turned out to be so much more. I especially love the add-on that records play-sessions, and the one that auto detects achievements you earned for cracked games that tracks them in achievements.ini or .json of in steam appID folder for major crackers like RUNE and CODEX (I've had issues making achievements work with voice38 and Razor1911 cracks). I didn't even know cracked games had achievements! You can see in the video, it shows achievements for Elden Ring and Sekiro that I earned 2 years ago.
Check out Playnite Laucnher if this peeked your interest. It will take some time to set up to your liking, but once you do, you won't regret spend time on it. And before you ask, following are add-ons I'm using:
Theme: Harmony.
Metadata add-ons: Custom Steam Grid Images Importer, IGDB metadata provider, SteamGridDB Metadata Provider, Universal PSN Metadata, and Universal Steam Metadata.
Generic add-ons: Extra Metadata Loader, GameActivity, HowLongToBeat, Steam News and Players Viewer, SuccessStory, ThemeExtras, ThemeModifier, and PlayniteAchievement (here's the github repo for it as it's not available directly on playnite).
As a pirate, I did not know that I was just 2-3 trophies away from 100%ing both Elden Ring and Sekiro.
I just discovered Playnite and set up local achievements plugin, and was surprised by this.
